Hey Buck, I friggin' love the "lavender flame!" Without a doubt, one of the coolest looking guitars I've ever seen. Did you do the paint? Great job!
When you mention 3M tape, you are talking about the fineline stuff, right? |
In the '60s, in high school, I never saw paper finer than 400. That always seemed to work for the lacquer we put on cars. A few years ago I started this guitar thing and discovered grits that go up to 2000! I'm no expert, but there must be a law of diminisioning returns working here somehow.
Thanks for the warm fuzzy on the lavender flames. While the concept, design, and colors were mine (did you notice the orange flame tips?) I didn't shoot it. It is that new-fangled urethane stuff that you actually need real equipment and knowledge to use. A friend of mine that paints motorcycles did it.
Thin 3M tape. Yessirreeebob! Almost as good at spray epoxy!
Happy Thanksgiving you all.
